“A master of compression, Pawlikowski is adept at sketching entire life stories in brief, succinct scenes. He’s a match made in heaven with Hüller, one of cinema’s great minimalists who can give you the world with a tremble of her lower lip. But as far as excellent movies about Hüller road-tripping with her dad go, this one isn’t nearly as funny as Toni Erdmann.” – Spliced Personality Substack, 11/08/2026
